It's actually quite insane "if you're familiar with Java at all"... |

Building C and C++ from source is great. 51% of dev-java category is doing |
| 10 |
pointless work. 401 ebuilds only have IUSE="doc source" which can almost |
| 11 |
always be fetched from Maven Central, and 44 ebuilds have no USE flags at |
| 12 |
all. That's just from simple grep results. Given the ugly majority there, I |
| 13 |
don't doubt there's some silliness going on in the remaining 49%. Building |
| 14 |
Java from source to get the exact same jar file every time on a million |
| 15 |
machines when you could just fetch the upstream jar instead is plain stupid. |
